 First of all, I'm surprised you don't have this on your host machine, since
this is normal bash behaviour.

 From the bash manual:

  convert-meta (On)
     If set to On, readline will convert characters with the eighth bit set to
an ASCII key sequence by stripping the eighth bit and prefixing an escape
character (in effect, using escape as the meta prefix).


 Since ? in UTF-8 is encoded as 0xc3 0xb1, this sequence is interpreted by bash
as M-C M-1. M-C is not bound to anything by default so is ignored. M-1 is bound
to digit-argument.

 So to solve this problem, add the following to your .inputrc:

set convert-meta Off


 Note that bash will still expand these characters to escape sequences, but it
should be sufficient for typing file names. Read the man page to find out how to
solve _that_ issue.


 Regards,
 Arnout
